Two Bristol Businesses Championing the Arts
We are delighted to announce that DAC Beachcroft and Hayes Parsons have joined our Business Club, demonstrating a shared commitment to supporting Bristol’s thriving cultural sector and investing in the future of the city.
DAC Beachcroft joins as a Platinum Member, while Hayes Parsons has committed to supporting the theatre through Business Club membership for the next two years. These partnerships are a significant endorsement of the role that Tobacco Factory Theatres plays in the development of arts and culture in the city, both through our curated programme of in-house work and touring productions, and our outreach initiatives that connect Bristol’s communities to the theatre.
At a time when cultural organisations are face increasing challenges, support from businesses such as DAC Beachcroft and Hayes Parsons is more important than ever, helping to ensure that creative opportunities remain accessible to communities across the city.
Investing in TFT Beyond Business
For DAC Beachcroft, one of Bristol’s largest employers and internationally recognised law firm, joining the TFT Business Club as a Platinum Member is a reflection of its commitment to supporting organisations that contribute to the city’s long-term success and wellbeing.
DAC Beachcroft’s Bristol Location Head and Intellectual Property Partner, Andrew Allen-Jones, said:
“As an organisation, we actively encourage our people to engage locally, and we continue to build a culture with a genuine emphasis on collaboration, recognising that we achieve more together. The work TFT does in the city, particularly in enabling access to the arts both professionally and through its community outreach, is something we are proud to support.”
Hayes Parsons, a leading insurance broker with headquarters in Bristol, highlighted the important role that TFT plays in Bristol’s vibrant cultural scene and strong connection to the community when making their two-year commitment to the Business Club.
Ryan Legge, Commercial Director for Hayes Parsons said:
“As a Bristol-based business, Hayes Parsons is proud to support organisations that help make our city such a vibrant place to live and work.
Tobacco Factory Theatres plays an important role in bringing people together through creativity, while helping to make the arts accessible to the local community, something we are pleased to support through the Business Club.
We believe strong local communities are built on more than business alone. By supporting a respected local arts organisation, we are investing in opportunities that enrich lives, nurture talent and help Bristol continue to thrive.”
Fundraising Manager for TFT, Aimee Arscott added, “These new partnerships will play an important role in supporting our mission to create exceptional theatre, nurture talent and engage communities across Bristol. We are proud to welcome both DAC Beachcroft and Hayes Parsons to the Business Club and look forward to working together to support a thriving future for TFT and our community as we approach our 25th Anniversary year.”
